A Clouded Idea Second period was by far my least favorite class of the day. The room was hot and sticky with a gross arm pit smell. Those combinations made me dread Eco every single day. I defiantly wasn’t the only one that hated that class, everyone that walked in practically held their nose. The sad part is we all knew why the class room smelled, it wasn’t because the school was old or something was wrong, it smelled like that because Jackson Lindoff was there. Jackson was a boy that…

How much of an impact did the artist leave however? A culture was completely…

To further this dilemma, many musicians create songs using diversified melodies and obscure lyrics, conveying the impression of their music having multiple meanings. In the song “Rape Me” by Nirvana, many people assume the song is about a woman being raped, but with subtle clues embedded in the lyrics, “Rape Me” could also have a deeper meaning. Released in December 1993, Nirvana’s Rape Me was written by…

A group as powerful as N.W.A. deserves a powerful movie, and this movie holds up. Flex Gary Gray, the director, captures all that N.W.A. stood for and their journey to the top of the music world.

In the 1980s, African-American youths in…

Have you ever felt connected to a song the first time you listened to it? Perhaps it was the instrumental, the piano beginning that crescendos into a mighty forte by the end of the chorus, the beating of the drums soon beating in sync with your heart.
